Yungkar
Fire, river stones and steaming water. A family homestay and traditional hot stone bath, high above the Paro valley.
An old Bhutanese ritual, made for slow evenings.
The dotsho, or hot stone bath, is how Bhutanese families have soaked away tired legs for generations. At Yungkar it's the heart of the house.
The fire
River stones go into a wood fire and stay there until they glow.
The stones
The hot stones are lowered into the water and hiss as they heat it, little by little.
The soak
You sink into the wooden tub and stay as long as you like. Guests call it deeply relaxing.
